The Oracle of Apollo Snippets from the life of Apollo Lee

Thanks, Palm

On Friday, I scrambled around looking for the charger for my Palm Tungsten E2 and, after looking for it for hours, I gave up. In the middle of the day on Monday, I called Palm’s technical support line and talked to someone who decided to send me a replacement charging cable. Today, the cable came. […]


Firefox 1.5

Firefox 1.5 is out. Other than reinstalling all my extensions (Web Developer, Sage, and del.icio.us), I haven’t noticed much different. I have noticed that Plastikfox Crystal SVG, my favorite theme, isn’t available for the new browser yet. All my extensions work correctly and as I have more of a chance to play with it, I’ll […]

Salted

It had been a while since I’d gone out to Mighty and I felt pretty healthy. I was a little antsy after last night’s party to get onto a good dancefloor with a good crowd. Patrick and Gigi were into it, so after a short disco nap, I jumped in my car and zipped up […]

The Loft

I noticed an announcement from a friend on myspace. Tonight, a free party in San José featured Roger Moorehouse and Frank Zacarias, a couple of South Bay DJs, so I decided to check it out. I haven’t been out in more than a month and I figured that I could go, hang out, and listen […]


Bike Wrangling

After I got unbanded this morning, I called CHP to see about picking up my bicycle. They said it wouldn’t be a problem, so I zipped up to Redwood City to get my 520 this afternoon. I haven’t seen my bicycle since the crash. From what I could see, I had tacoed my front wheel […]


Syringe to Spoon

Yesterday, a large piece of the wax separating my molars to pull my jaw back into place broke off into my mouth. After some effort, I managed to open my banded jaw just enough to push it out through my teeth with my tongue. So, I called my surgeon’s medical assistant, she consulted him, and […]


I Have Survived

On Tuesday, my appointment for my surgery finally came. One of my housemates drove me to Stanford University and I headed up to the surgery check-in. On check-in, I was informed that my surgeons were running long on another surgery. I got naked, robed, and weighed (I’m down ten pounds already?), and waited for my […]


We Are Go

Tomorrow, I’m going to Stanford for my surgery at 10 in the morning. I’ll be under the knife for most of Tuesday afternoon. I have a confession to make… I’m scared shitless. Shitless. I’ve never had major surgery before. I’m confident that the surgeon in charge of my care is the best of the best […]
